[OpenAI Adjusts Stargate Strategy, Abandons Building Its Own Data Centers, Lowers Compute Budget to $600 Billion] Odaily Planet Daily reports, according to monitoring by 1M AI News, OpenAI has made significant adjustments to its Stargate computing infrastructure project, abandoning plans to build its own data centers and instead opting for third-party cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud to provide compute power. The company has revised its total compute expenditure forecast for 2030 from the previous $1.4 trillion down to approximately $600 billion. This adjustment is primarily influenced by financing pressures. Since its proposal in 2025, the Stargate project has progressed slowly and failed to secure large-scale construction funding. OpenAI has exited related expansion negotiations in Texas and reached a new collaboration model with SoftBank, where SoftBank will handle energy and facility development, while OpenAI will acquire compute resources through long-term leases. Additionally, OpenAI is shifting its compute deployment to NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform, aiming to achieve the first gigawatt-scale compute capacity by the second half of 2026.
